BitLock (bitlock.co/bikeshare.html) offers a cloud-based bike/e-bike share solution that consists of a flexible SaaS fleet management platform and a keyless U-lock controlled by a smartphone app.
BitLock provides a highly scalable and cost effective solution for any bike share program. With BitLock, any bike can be turned into a sharable bike, eliminating the need for expensive proprietary rental bicycles and pay-park stations. This results in 20x savings in up-front capital investment.
BitLock could-based vehicle fleet management platform handles payment processing, data analytics such as route data, usage statistics, performance metrics.
BitLock aims to address and own the growing global two-wheeler sharing market within the municipalities, real estate, campus mobility, and hospitality segments, estimated to generate $5 billion dollars in ARR by 2020 with 20% CAGR. The company raised $127K in 30 days on Kickstarter in November 2013 solely from the consumer market interest.

Why Us

Mesh Motion is on a mission to write the next chapter of Internet of Things (IoT). We aspire to create a network of identifiable and accessible objects by turning your smartphone into the remote control of the world.
We focus on solving important problems with greater social impact. One of these problems is urban mobility and transportation. Cities have been witnessing a fast population influx in the recent years and transportation is becoming increasingly problematic in urban environments. We believe shared-use-mobility is the answer to the current and future problems of transportation and access lies in the heart of it.
We decided to begin by introducing our Internet of Things platform to the world of bike sharing to empower communities and urban developers to provide convenient and green alternative transportation options. Our bikeshare solution costs an order of magnitude less than the existing station-based bikeshare solutions, while maintaining the same level of service. We have established international partnerships with cities and are serving companies, schools, and local communities with their transportation needs.
Although we have a small boat, we have room for YOU. Together, we can make a bigger boat at the next island and bring more talented people like you on board. We want to look back in time and say wow, the world looked so different we started.
Here at Mesh Motion, you will be working with the most talented and yet extremely humble individuals who have PhDs in computer science, electrical engineering, and years of experience software and hardware development. We encourage creativity and independent thinking and work ethic.
However, you must be mindful that in spite of all joy and fun, no journey is void of perils. Storms can come; we may run out of food, or get exhausted. You must enjoy the journey more than anything else and ammo up with hope and lots of faith. There is no room for the faint-hearted.

Since reaching critical mass of data we launched our first commercial product, OpenSignal Insights, in Q4 2013. In 4 months we managed to sign deals with clients such as McKinsey, Opera, Telefonica and ChinaMobile. Our global dataset has enabled us to close deals in 4 different continents and establishing our consumer brand through public reports and partnerships with press outlets, consumer groups and retailers attracts deal flow and allows us to close sales quickly. Three of our deals to date have been closed in under 7 days, far shorter than traditional enterprise sales cycles.

Distribution

The OpenSignal App has been downloaded more than 11 million times worldwide. This is about 20x in traction compared to our closest competitors and provides us with billions of data points on wireless networks in over 200 countries globally. We've always focussed on providing app users with a clear incentive which has enabled us to achieve 100K 5 star reviews and a strong position in the app stores. We also use the same dataset to put out public reports on the wireless market such as our android fragmentation visualisation which is viewed by 10 million+ people driving further download traction.

Tech

Building a sensor network on consumer devices requires both an appreciation of technical challenges and a talent for building compelling consumer products. An effective network will: take and upload readings efficiently and in a convenient format, process the data, feed the data back to the app to improve it. At OpenSignal we have invested significantly in developing each of these links: developing a powerful methodology for taking readings; an array of tools and processes for extracting value from data; and a philosophy of positive feedback whereby app users become contributors to the improvement of the app.

As an example of how we are at the forefront of this field, OpenSignal's research into how sensors can be repurposed - for example how battery sensors can be used to monitor external ambient temperature - has been been referenced by Journals such as Nature.
